Is anyone else having trouble getting svoice to understand what you're saying? I feel that I am speaking clear enoigh, but it still consistently misses what I am trying to relay to it. Any tips or advice?

Is the voice recognition done on the watch or the phone?
I don't have the Gear yet, but on the phone, the voice recognition improved immensely for me once I downloaded the Australian English pack.
It's under the language and input > voice search settings of the phone.
If it's done on the watch, is there a way to download different dialect packs?

From my understanding is the gear has its own simplified version of Svoice built in... and it sucks donkey balls.
Sent from my Note 3 & Galaxy Gear using Tapatalk
That sucks. I guess if you speak with a north American mid west accent you are probably ok. For the rest of the world...
The voice recognition was very poor for me without downloading the Australian English pack.
The more days pass while I wait for it to be available in Thailand, the more I think I'll wait for version 2...

I've had good luck with it, use it all the time. Speaking naturally has helped, as well as making sure both microphones aren't covered.

I just received my Smart Dock in the mail and they failed to mention that you can't make or receive phone calls or text messages while it's docked. This is a HUGE flaw for me and I probably wouldn't had even have bought this had I known. Yet, it is nowhere mentioned on Amazon or on the Samsung website. I find this very misleading considering its a product for your "smart" phone. I found out by troubleshooting in vain then finally contacting Samsung tech support where it was confirmed.
Someone please crack this open and find a way!

Wow! This may be a carrier customization. Are you going to send it back?
Hmm. Mine works.
Sprint

Slightly themed.
I actually keep my BT Headset on so I can answer calls all over my apt without having to undock.

No I'm going to keep it. I'm on Verizon I use it only at night anyways so its ok. Ppl hit me up on Google Talk a lot so I'll maintain.
Here is a screenshot I took from my conversation with tech support. Also, I'm running Eclipse but I don't think the ROM is the problem.

With great respect only you can answer that. The online operating manual is now available for the Sony site. I would suggest you go read it and see if it will perform what you expect of a smart watch or not. Ones mans trash is another mans gold etc..........
Regards.
Thanks...you are correct about what "I" expect from the device. As long as it sends all my texts and emails I'll be good. I work in a dirty factory and hate pulling out my phone

You can reply to anything using s-voice no on-board keyboard. Loving this thing so far and the phone is a big improvement over the note2 (and I loved that phone too).
Absolutely room for improvement and not many apps.. yet. Patience people.

The SMS and Email notifications work great on Gear.
Gmail and Facebook notifications need to work like the above two to be useful and they aren't yet.
Gear seriously needs a calculator app, including a tip calculation function. It's mind boggling that they didn't include one already.
It would also be nice to have a compass function but not sure whether it can support that or not.

Not from the Gear directly, but you can quite easily transfer to the smartphone and then, share from the phone.

its growing on me but it needs playstore access its so good but its bad. the speaker phone is unbelievable the viewing of text is great and this is the best s voice i ever used and i hate s voice, but the bad is the apps the apps is horrible. it needs three things 1. the ability to answer a text with a built in keyboard. 2. Play store access. 3. micro sd slot. If I could get 1 and 2 Ill be happy other than that Im probably going to return it based on google announcement on oct 31
would I get stopped by the police if I was using a gear for a call while driving ????
It's a handsfree device. Of course not .

I would add a caution to the above replies. This will depend upon the country you drive in. The Nordic countries have VERY strict controls over motorists. The further South one travels the less sever the laws appear BUT......
WE all know If Mr Policeman wants to book you there is always a reason he can find? No I am not anti police. I just don't pi55 them off.
I'd imagine there may be changes soon in many countries in regards to laws and wearable technology (watch, glasses). But technically, it is just a Bluetooth headset

Always check the driving laws for your state/country. Each state/country is different in this area of law. New laws are released every Sept 1st here in Tx, not sure about others.

i'm pretty sure gear is pretty much dead for samsung. they never really cared about it since day one.
the only reason to get one is only because of custom rom. i installed hangout on it and tethered it to my phone and now i have fully running hangout on mobile. i can read and reply to messages and so.
samsung did not even bother to let us use onscreen keyboard to reply texts, why on earth would you think they would be working on hangout for it?

we both know that the way about tethering all stuff will not be the reason for long time. there will arrive a custom rom from somebody which will let function the gear with roms without touchwiz. Then we will see if samsung will wait till google watch arrive or they will open up something. surely both opnions could arrive. for now, samsungs watch is there and living.
I just saw a Samsung add on FB and it showed a gear getting a call with picture ID. does anyone know if the Gear can do this or is it good Photoshop on the add.
Yes as long as you have a picture set for the person that is calling you there picture will show on the watch.

Not that I know of. When I set my watch up the first phone call I got had a picture of the person calling. Do any of the pictures you have set up already show up on your phone screen when the person calls?

Pictures do work on the watch. It seems to be sporadic IMO. I havent really paid attention to the pattern. I dont know if its a resolution issue or if the pic has to be linked to a certain account on the phone or what. The Samsung kiosk in Best Buy in my area was useless. I knew more about the watch than they did.

you seem to be overreacting. he simply asked how contact pictures works. there is absolutly nothing with using gear with other devices. as it has been stated before, not all functions work.

Sorry if I sounded rude. It is just that if he knows the Gear doesn´t get full functionality with his Nexus, then why is he wondering why he doesnt get caller id and photo.... It is pretty obvious it is for lack of compatibility.
In my case, installing all apks on my htc one (except weather and music, obiusly),extracted from gear manager apk i can see the names of my contacts when they call me. I haven't photos with my contacts to try it

Thank you both for useful posts / help! I re installed the apks from gear manager 1.5 and now works - I have caller ID and photos.
I think I must have missed one apk when installing the first time.
Now to try ang get notifications to work.
